A MUST HAVE in your on-board tool box.. You never know when the alternator belt is going to break, ... or just needs routine replacement. THIS IS the tool that tensions the belt....keeps it tensioned....while you tighten up your alternator and bracket!!
Thanks again Capt. Sam
This interchange proves, once again, the value of being a C36 I.A. member!!

I was trying to figure out what those parts were that the PO had left with the other engine parts.... As soon as I followed the link it all made sense. :D

I just finished installing my new Alternator and used my new tensioner tool to put the belt back on. What a great help it is! I don't think I could have gotten the belt as tight as it should be without it.
